I think our “boss” JCD uses a variation of this method.

    >>Name one thing that Anal Cyst Limbaugh has been “right” about.

    Let’s go with one close to your heart. He says that Barack Hussein Obama is a socialist intent on replacing capitalism with socialism.

    Now, prove that one wrong.

    Rush was taking over 30 percoset a day.
    As someone who had taken percoset during the pain of chemotherapy I can tell you that 30 percoset is a HUGE amount. I am a big person, and two percoset just about knock me down. But Rush was taking 30 of them, so much so that they had made him deaf. Why is he not in jail?

    Probably the same reason Obama is not in jail for using cocaine and various other illegal drugs.

  4. Gary, the dangerous infidel says:

    Here’s a bit of substance that should discredit Rush Limbaugh’s judgement forever….. He gave his unflagging and steadfast support to Bush, whose oft-repeated highest claim to competence is that America only had one major successful terrorist attack on his watch.

    #101, ‘tempt,

    Where has Limbaugh been found wrong, Hhmmm, Please not that this list was complete with eight cites but got flagged by the spam filter. This is the second posting.

    Claiming that volcanoes put more chlorine in the air than all mankind does regarding destruction of the ozone. He didn’t know that chlorine will parcipitate out in rain, CFCs dont.

    Claiming the Santa Monica Freeway was repaired 74 days ahead of schedule because there was no competitive bidding and thus no minority contractors. Only he was wrong. Minority contractors made up 40% of the successful bids.

    Banks take all the risks with student loans. Well, not quite. All student loans are federally guaranteed and thus the banks take NO risk.

    Limbaugh claimed Michael J. Fox was “acting” when he made a commercial promoting stem cell research. Far from the truth, Fox suffers from Parkinson’s.

    Limbaugh said any veteren soldier that did not support America’s involvement in Iraq a “phony soldier”. Only Limbaugh is the phoney soldier, having dodged the draft himself.

    Limbaugh called an indecency decision handed down by the FCC was a “Democratic Party” doing when it was the Republicans that held the majority of seats on the FCC and voted to fine his bosses. He also claimed the “Smut on TV gets praised…”

    On his April 29, 1994 radio program Limbaugh stated, “There is no conclusive proof that nicotine’s addictive…and the same thing with cigarettes causing emphysema, lung cancer, heart disease.” [14] He stated this despite the fact that the U.S. Surgeon General’s Report of 1988 declared the nicotine in cigarettes to be an addictive substance, the 1984 Surgeon General’s report definitively linked smoking with emphysema, and the 1964 report linked it with lung cancer

    The man who denies being a racist once told a black caller to ”take that bone out of your nose” and recommended sending unskilled jobs to ”stupid and unskilled Mexicans.”

    Limbaugh — the champion of patriotism, family values, and religion — didn’t register to vote until he was 35, recently entered his third marriage, and doesn’t attend church. A must-read for anyone doing battle in the culture wars

    “Anytime the illegitimacy rate in black America
    is raised, Reverend Jackson and other black ‘leaders’ immediately
    change the subject.” (Jackson and other black leaders have been
    talking about and against “children having children” for years.)
    ON THE IRAN-CONTRA INVESTIGATION: “There is not one indictment.
    There is not one charge.” (By the time Limbaugh said this, there
    had been 14 indictments–most of which resulted in convictions or
    guilty pleas.)

    Claiming the “ozone hole” over the Antarctic suddenly disappeared. Well, not quite. It thins and didn’t actually start thinning from when measurements were first started during the ’50s until the ’70s. Again, Limbaugh wants us to believe his volcano theory.

    Will that do or do you want more examples? I could keep going but I do have things to do today.

    Oh gawd, there’s lots to do today…

    >>Claiming that volcanoes put more chlorine in the air than all mankind does regarding destruction of the ozone. He didn’t know that chlorine will parcipitate out in rain, CFCs dont.

    That’s not what he said. He said that volcanoes spew ash into the atmosphere that helps cool the planet. (5/9/08)

    >>Claiming the Santa Monica Freeway was repaired 74 days ahead of schedule because there was no competitive bidding and thus no minority contractors. Only he was wrong. Minority contractors made up 40% of the successful bids.

    substantiation please? I couldn’t find where he said that. I don’t believe he ever said it was because no minorities were involved.

    >>Banks take all the risks with student loans. Well, not quite. All student loans are federally guaranteed and thus the banks take NO risk.

    You’re bitching about THIS??? jeez, there’s a pimple on a flea if ever I heard one.

    >>Limbaugh claimed Michael J. Fox was “acting” when he made a commercial promoting stem cell research. Far from the truth, Fox suffers from Parkinson’s.

    Truth is that MJF OVERDOSED ON HIS MEDS before he made those commercials and also before he testified in front of congress. If that ain’t acting, I don’t know what is. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/10/26/eveningnews/main2128188.shtml

    >>>Limbaugh said any veteren soldier that did not support America’s involvement in Iraq a “phony soldier”. Only Limbaugh is the phoney soldier, having dodged the draft himself.

    I’ll call BS on that one. You are totally uninformed or just plain spinning. The phony soldier was a lowlife named jesse macbeth, who claimed to be a soldier when he was only in the military for 6 weeks before he got booted. He got some medals and claimed to be a war hero against the war. http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=27149&only&rss Rush never said that all soldiers against the war were phony.

    >>Limbaugh called an indecency decision handed down by the FCC was a “Democratic Party” doing when it was the Republicans that held the majority of seats on the FCC and voted to fine his bosses. He also claimed the “Smut on TV gets praised…”

    Huh? Another pimple on a flea. Not worth responding to.

    >>On his April 29, 1994 radio program Limbaugh stated, “There is no conclusive proof that nicotine’s addictive…and the same thing with cigarettes causing emphysema, lung cancer, heart disease.” [14] He stated this despite the fact that the U.S. Surgeon General’s Report of 1988 declared the nicotine in cigarettes to be an addictive substance, the 1984 Surgeon General’s report definitively linked smoking with emphysema, and the 1964 report linked it with lung cancer

    The only sites I found that quote on were commie lib rush hater sites. Therefore it’s invalid. I doubt he ever said it. Besides, I (and anyone who thinks) distrust anything the government says so vehemently.

    >>The man who denies being a racist once told a black caller to ”take that bone out of your nose” and recommended sending unskilled jobs to ‘’stupid and unskilled Mexicans.”

    He never said “take that bone out of your nose”. The “stupid and unskilled mexicans” statement came from an OBAMA AD in Spanish where they totally put words in his mouth that he never said. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98gA-rbMBLw

    >>>Limbaugh — the champion of patriotism, family values, and religion — didn’t register to vote until he was 35, recently entered his third marriage, and doesn’t attend church. A must-read for anyone doing battle in the culture wars

    Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg doesn’t vote either. And why does his personal life matter? Hell all those things you mentioned make a democrat MORE qualified to run for office.

    >>“Anytime the illegitimacy rate in black America
    is raised, Reverend Jackson and other black ‘leaders’ immediately change the subject.” (Jackson and other black leaders have been
    talking about and against “children having children” for years.)

    Bill Cosby is the only A-A who has made any headlines talking about black folks being responsible. JJ and AS have barely peeped about it.

    >>>ON THE IRAN-CONTRA INVESTIGATION: “There is not one indictment. There is not one charge.” (By the time Limbaugh said this, there had been 14 indictments–most of which resulted in convictions or guilty pleas.)

    Another pimple on a flea.

    It did disappear. The ozone holes only appear over the poles during winter when there is no sunlight, which is an ingredient in producing ozone.

    Will that do or do you want more examples? I could keep going but I do have things to do today.

    So far, it sounds like Rush’s 98.8 accuracy rating is solid. If that’s all you have….

    A bit of interesting data on this one. My uncles company was hired to demo & clear the damaged part of that freeway after the quake. It was by competitive bid. Now, the gov did a VERY smart thing. They offered a very large a bonus (to all the contracting companies involved) for every day that they came in under schedule. THAT is what got the freeway done so fast.

    #106, IvorLittleUn,

    As I mentioned in my post. I cited EVERY EFFEN CLAIM!!! EIGHT OF THEM!!!

    The DU spam filter is holding the post. If you want the citations then ask the DU administrator to release the original post.

    Honestly, if you want to defend Limbaugh go for it. Even an asshole enjoys a good shit now and then.

  9. Alfred1 says:

    # 106 Ivor Biggun refuted everyone of your arguments, Mr. Fusion…

    That’s no warrant for foaming at the mouth…or obscenity…

  10. Mr. Fusion says:

    #109, Ashole

    Ivor Biggun refuted everyone of your arguments,

    Rush Limbaugh has gotten a lot of mileage out of his claim that volcanoes do more harm to the ozone layer than human-produced chemicals. He featured it in his best-selling book, The Way Things Ought to Be (paperback edition pp. 155-157): “Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines spewed forth more than a thousand times the amount of ozone-depleting chemicals in one eruption than all the fluorocarbons manufactured by wicked, diabolical and insensitive corporations in history…. Mankind can’t possibly equal the output of even one eruption from Pinatubo, much less 4 billion years’ worth of them, so how can we destroy ozone?”

    Limbaugh calls concern about the ozone layer: “balderdash. Poppycock.” The only people who worry about it are “environmental wackos,” “dunderheaded alarmists and prophets of doom.”<blockquote

  11. Mr. Fusion says:

    #109 Ashole,

    LIMBAUGH: On California contractor C.C. Myers completing repairs 74 days early on the earthquake-damaged Santa Monica Freeway: “There was one key element that made this happen. One key thing: The governor of California declared the [freeway] a disaster area and by so doing eliminated the need for competitive bids…. Government got the hell out of the way.” (TV show, 4/13/94) “They gave this guy [Myers] the job without having to go through the rigmarole…of giving 25 percent of the job to a minority-owned business and 25 percent to a woman.” (TV show, 4/15/94)

    REALITY: There was competitive bidding: Myers beat four other contractors for the job. Affirmative action rules applied: At least 40 percent of the subcontracts went to minority or women-owned firms. Far from getting out of the way, dozens of state employees were on the job 24 hours a day. Furthermore, the federal government picked up the tab for the whole job (L.A. Times, 5/1/94).

    Same source as #110

  12. Mr. Fusion says:

    #109, Ashole,

    LIMBAUGH: “Banks take the risks in issuing student loans and they are entitled to the profits.” (Radio show, quoted in FRQ, Summer/93)

    REALITY: Banks take no risks in issuing student loans, which are federally insured.

  13. Mr. Fusion says:

    RE #112,

    Oopps, I forgot to mention that this is the same source as #110

  14. Paddy-O says:

    # 111 Mr. Fusion said, “Same source as #110″

    Actually, listing a source as “TV show” doesn’t cut it as a “source”. If they have the transcript they have the name and channel of the “TV show”.

    Sorry, try again. Not saying it isn’t true, but, not a credible source due to that HUGE omission.

  15. Mr. Fusion says:

    #106,

    Truth is that MJF OVERDOSED ON HIS MEDS before he made those commercials and also before he testified in front of congress. If that ain’t acting, I don’t know what is.

    From the exact same link you posted

    Michael J. Fox defended his appearance in a political campaign ad, saying he wasn’t acting or off his medication. …

    Fox told Couric, “At this point now, if I didn’t take medication I wouldn’t be able to speak.”

    ***

    The phony soldier was a lowlife named jesse macbeth,

    at no point during his September 26 radio show prior to making his “phony soldiers” comment did Limbaugh refer to MacBeth, or indeed any specific soldiers whom he considered to be fake.

  16. Mr. Fusion says:

    #114, Cow-Paddy, the illiterate one,

    Actually, listing a source as “TV show” doesn’t cut it as a “source”. If they have the transcript they have the name and channel of the “TV show”.

    Where the eff do you get this “TV show” source? The link in #110, 111, and 112 all go to a site called Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR)

    Geeze you are screwed up.

    Now enough, Limbaugh has made a career out of defaming people and lying. Books have been written about it.

  17. Paddy-O says:

    # 116 Mr. Fusion said, “Where the eff do you get this “TV show” source? The link in #110, 111, and 112 all go to a site called Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR)”

    If you bothered to read what was on that web page on fair.org, THEY list as a source, “TV Show”.

    In other words, they are giving, supposedly, direct quotes from Limbaugh without being able to cite THEIR source.

    NOW, do you get it?

  18. Paddy-O says:

    Mr. Fusion. Hello?

  19. Mr. Fusion says:

    #117, Cow-Paddy, Illiterate fool,

    In other words, they are giving, supposedly, direct quotes from Limbaugh without being able to cite THEIR source.

    Where did you get that? Eff are you retarded? Read the ,a href=http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=1895>cited article.

    Syndicated columnist Thomas Sowell (New York Post, 1/14/94) used the volcano theory as Exhibit A to illustrate Limbaugh’s “very well-informed and savvy understanding of the political issues of our time.” “While far more pretentious people have been joining the chorus of hysteria over ‘global warming,’” Sowell wrote,

    “Limbaugh pointed out in his [first] book that one of the high readings of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere came right after a volcanic eruption–and volcanoes can put more gases into the atmosphere than the entire human race.”

    The alert reader will notice that Sowell has mixed up global warming and the ozone layer, two different problems. Still, Sowell concluded of Limbaugh, “It is obvious that the man has done his homework–and done it well.”

    Ted Koppel must have thought so, too, when he invited Limbaugh to be on Nightline (2/4/92) as an environmental “expert,” opposite then-Sen. Al Gore. “If you listen to what Senator Gore said,” Limbaugh proclaimed,
    “it is man-made products which are causing the ozone depletion, yet Mount Pinatubo has put 570 times the amount of chlorine into the atmosphere in one eruption than all of man-made chlorofluorocarbons in one year.”

    On his radio show, his syndicated TV show, and in two best-selling books, Limbaugh has advanced the idea that volcanoes are the real ozone culprits. This theory, like so many of Limbaugh’s claims, has only one problem: Limbaugh doesn’t know what he’s talking about. …

    “Chlorine from natural sources is soluble, and so it gets rained out of the lower atmosphere,” the journal Science explained (6/11/93). “CFCs, in contrast, are insoluble and inert and thus make it to the stratosphere to release their chlorine.”

    Science also noted that chlorine found in the stratosphere– where it can eat away at Earth’s protective ozone layer–is always found with other byproducts of CFCs, and not with the byproducts of natural chlorine sources.

    Every claim in this quoted text is backed by a source. If you have something more specific then you should post it. Along with your “proof” of all the things you have been asked to back up.

    Please note, this is not an IM board and I don’t expect to immediately reply to any comment. Especially from someone who still hasn’t answered so many basic claims.

  20. Paddy-O says:

    # 119 Mr. Fusion said, “If you have something more specific then you should post it.”

    I didn’t make the claim. You did. If YOU have a verifiable source of what he said, YOU post it.

    I searched and couldn’t find anyway to verify what they alleged he said.

    Let me know.
